first off, THANK GOD tikka is not a 3lb fragile yorkie.

although 8.5lbs isn't too sturdy... it's sturdier!
i went to the bathroom to get an eyelash out of my eye... literally a 30 second project lol. i walked out of my bathroom and Tikka was sitting in my window seal!
i had left my chair pushed out, and she had managed to go from chair, to the table, and somehow to the window! at least 4feet from out kitchen floor!
out of shock and in a rush of panicky feelings, i was like "ahhhh tikka NO!" and she jumped. not onto the table, not onto the chair, all the way to the floor landing on her feet! i swear she flew like four feet out from her four foot perch!
i screamed lol, i'm sure any neighbors that are home heard me as my windows are all open. she came running up to me, on the way grabbed her tuggie toy and tail wagging a hundred miles a minute... no harm done.
i checked her over anyways, but boy, not to be gross but I definitely about pooped my pants when i saw her leap!
one reason i'm so glad she's bigger than i had originally wanted/expected! i'm still a little shaky, but i will NEVER leave my chair pushed out again. she's like a cat!
